The MRS Nomad S1 is a fast long distance solo packraft with a long, narrow shape and a removable skeg which provides far improved tracking. It has a centrally positioned seat and a symmetrical bow and stern; it is the ultimate packraft for longer distance paddling, sharing the same MRS packraft qualities of durable construction, high quality materials and design, light weight and that all important packability!
This packraft is available in green, blue, red, yellow. and a world debut sand beige colour. Also included is a removable and adjustable backrest, making this packraft easy to adjust to provide you with the most comfortable paddling position. The MRS Nomad S1 for simplicity and to save weight doesn’t come with the removable spray deck that is available on the S1D variant of the MRS Nomad (see the online store for details).
Unusual for packrafts, the MRS Nomad S1 also includes a removable skeg which greatly improves tracking and speed when paddling. It is for this reason that the MRS Nomad S1 is a departure from traditional packrafts which, without a skeg, have more a tendency to sway when paddling (those packrafts are more suited to dedicated river adventures and white water).
This packraft is also made using double coated TPU for the floor (420D) and tubes (210D) making it both extremely light and durable. TPU is UV-resistant, durable and makes use of sewn and welded seams.
The MRS Nomad S1 can be used on both calm coastal waters, or river and lakes. It is also suited to white water. If you are after a packraft that can do a bit of everything, the MRS Nomad S1 is for you.
It is also an additional option to have the MRS Nomad S1 with the infamous Internal Storage System (ISS) which allows you to store your items within the tubes; handy for things such as coats, boots, sleeping bags and other small travel accessories. As the MRS Nomad S1 is a great touring packraft, if you select the ISS option, it comes with two ISS zips for even more storage options. This helps to reduce clutter within the packraft whilst making water crossings or touring. It also helps to lower the centre of gravity for even better tracking. The ISS is both water tight and air tight, using a high quality sealed zip system.
